Self-checkout at the grocery store is a major vector for shoplifting. That's why the cameras are there.

If I was running such a store, I wouldn't want to spend the money on those cameras. But alas, the money is well spent in stopping thieves.

I was talking to one of the staff in a grocery store a while ago. He said the corporate auditors came in one day and decided to review the security cams. The result was half the staff was fired for theft.

It's just too bad that we live in a low trust society.
